Chapter 17 Alone

Chapter 17 Being Alone

The people in the house didn't let him stay for long.

After a few sounds, Shi Huan's pretty face appeared inside the door.

Under the cover of the door panel, her face seemed to have a bit of coldness.

Seeing this scene, An Jiusheng clenched his fists uncomfortably and coughed. He handed the invitation letter in his hand forward and said dryly, "Grandpa asked me to go on an inspection trip with you. We will leave the day after tomorrow. You can pack your luggage."

The tone was businesslike, as if the visit was just to fulfill grandpa's instructions.

Hearing this, Shi Huan accepted the invitation in a depressed manner and responded listlessly, "I understand."

If it weren't for her grandfather's sake, she wouldn't have agreed to go to some hot spring resort with him!

An Jiusheng stood at the door and didn't know what to say. Shi Huan usually kept chattering in his ear, but now that she didn't speak, he didn't know what to do.

Just as he was about to find an excuse to leave, the open door closed quietly.

She acted as if she had nothing to say to herself.

This made An Jiusheng's joy of going on vacation suddenly disappear. His black eyes fell on the closed door, his expression dark and unclear.

Time flew by, and when the day of departure arrived, Mr. An smiled and watched the young couple get into the car together, telling them to have fun and not worry about anything else.

That look of anticipation was as if he had seen their relationship develop rapidly after their vacation.

However, Wang Meiren and her son, who had always had objections to the old man's special love for An Jiusheng, did not say a word of objection, and did not even ask to follow.

The car sped away on the asphalt road, and the high-rise buildings were gradually left behind, replaced by a lush scenery.

The hot spring resort is in the suburbs, and it takes more than two hours to drive there.

Shi Huan, on the other hand, remained silent from the moment he got in the car, looking intently at the book in his hand, completely treating An Jiusheng as a transparent person.

But only she knew that she didn't read even a word of the content in the book, and all her attention was on An Jiusheng.

He obviously didn't do anything, he just needed to appear next to her to attract all her attention.

Fortunately, this long journey was finally over. Before getting off the car, An Jiusheng asked her to wait in the car, then opened the door and went around to the other end to help her get out of the car.

Seeing him changing his cold and extremely attentive appearance, Shi Huan frowned and was about to speak, but the spiritual energy in his body suddenly fluctuated for a moment.

"Um?"

She subconsciously looked up and saw a crowd of people not far away, with a man in black standing in the middle.

The other party was wearing a black suit, with a tall and straight figure, and a handsome face that was as good as An Jiusheng's.

But when Shi Huan looked at it, he trembled unconsciously.

It's as if the other person carries something she hates the most!

"Who is that?"

Seeing her staring blankly at others, An Jiusheng's originally cold face was covered with a layer of coldness.

He took a step forward, turned sideways to block Shi Huan's sight, and said in a cold tone, "You are now the young lady of the An family."

"ah?"

Being caught off guard and blocked by him, Shi Huan was stunned and didn't react for a while.

And this aroused An Jiusheng's anger. He took a step forward, with a hint of coldness in his voice, "Is he that good-looking?"

"who……"

Shi Huan asked subconsciously, but after reacting, his heart suddenly shook.

She widened her eyes in disbelief, looked at An Jiusheng, and asked, "Are you... jealous?"

As soon as these two words came out, An Jiusheng reacted suddenly.

His body paused, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face very quickly, and he said harshly, "I didn't."

"Then why do you care so much about me looking at other people?"

But Shi Huan didn't want to give up. This was the first time that An Jiusheng showed that he cared about her.

In any case, she wanted to ask clearly...

"you……"

Facing her eager gaze, An Jiusheng was slightly confused and didn't know how to answer.

Suddenly a hurried voice came from the side, "Young Master, everything is ready over there, waiting for you."

There had never been a moment when An Jiusheng felt that Lin Zhong's voice sounded as pleasant as it did now.

He breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his head, "I still have something to do. There are still a few hours before the reception starts. Go up and rest for a while. I'll have someone call you in the evening."

His voice was gentler than usual, but Shi Huan's face still darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She glanced at Lin Zhong, who was silent not far away, sighed unconsciously, and whispered, "Well, I'm going back to my room first."

Although he was disappointed with An Jiusheng, Shi Huan still couldn't get angry with him.

She suppressed the sourness in her heart and got into the elevator under the guidance of the waiter.

It was getting dark, and there was still half an hour before the reception started. Shi Huan received the dress prepared for her by An Jiusheng.

It was a white long tube top dress. The fabric was made of satin and glowed with white pearls. It looked extremely noble and delicate, as if it was tailor-made for her.

This resort was originally a stepping stone for the He family to prepare for the next generation of heirs to take power, so it was naturally organized with great fanfare.

The crystal lamp shines on the white marble floor, and shadows of clothes and candlelight can be seen everywhere.

Shi Huan held An Jiusheng's arm and slowly walked into the reception, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

There was an endless stream of people coming to chat, and some appraising eyes fell on Shi Huan.

Although in name only she had just entered the An family's door, news about her had spread widely.

No one here knows that this young lady of the An family has an ordinary background. If her horoscopes were not compatible with Young Master An, she would have no chance of marrying into the An family.

The An family was a wealthy family among wealthy families, and there were countless people who wanted to marry into it, but Shi Huan got there first, so there was naturally no shortage of people who wanted to see her joke.

But unexpectedly, Shi Huan didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about this kind of scene.

She stood beside An Jiusheng with a calm demeanor, chatting with him in a low voice from time to time. Her loving look made some famous ladies who always paid attention to An Jiusheng very angry.

"Are you tired?"

An Jiusheng looked at the high heels on Shi Huan's feet and asked with concern.

Shi Huan shook her head, this was not bad for her.

An Jiusheng's tired words of "I'll take you back to your room first" were stuck in her mouth.

Just as he was about to take her to a corner to rest for a while, he heard a piercing scream from the crowd.

Those people who were brightly dressed and behaved with a certain condescension ran out in panic, as if they had seen something terrifying.

"Dead, dead!"

One of the ladies scratched her head, turned pale, and stumbled to the ground.

Hearing this, Shi Huan subconsciously wanted to step forward to check, but was held back by a big hand.

"do not go!"
